Flash Text Load

Hi,
Is there a way to have a box in flash that loads a text (.txt) doucment in FLASH 6 and put it in a box or text box and applys a certain font to it?

sure.
you can use the loadvars class to load text that's in a text file and use the onData method to assign that file's contents to a textfield that's formatted in the authoring environment or with code during run time.

You don't appear to show any attempt to apply the format to the textfields. You either set it as the default before you add text or set it to the format after it has been written to the textfield. Here is a link to help documentation that will explain...
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/text/TextFormat.h tml
As far as nulling goes, there is no attempt shown for that as well, so it is not really clear (to me) what you intend/mean as far as nulling it. To clear a textfield you can just assign iut an empty string... as in ""

XML to Flash Text

I am trying to load text from XML to Flash, My XML document
looks like this.
<tutorial>
<introduction>Welcome</introduction>
<scenario>This is the scenario</scenario>
</tutorial>
Here is my ActionScript code. How do I get it to load so I
can have a text box display welcome instead of all the XML.

stop();
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;
loader.load( new URLRequest("example.xml"));
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, textReady);
var tutorial:XML = new XML();
var tutList:XMLList;
var myText_txt:TextField = new TextField();
addChild(myText_txt);
myText_txt.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
function textReady(event:Event):void{
tutList = XML(event.target.data).children();
myText_txt.text = tutList[0];
}

Don't want Flash to load or do you? ClickToFlash-plugin

Discretion from MacUpdate web page:
DESCRIPTION
ClickToFlash is a WebKit plug-in that prevents automatic loading of Adobe Flash content. If you want to see the content, you can opt-in by clicking on it or adding an entire site to the whitelist.
Try control-clicking (or right-clicking) on an unloaded Flash box to access ClickToFlash's contextual menu which allows you to do advanced things like edit its whitelist, specify settings, and load all Flash on the page.
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/30682
You can click on the cog icon in the upper left of the Flash bounding box to open a preference box.
I haven't played with it much. Two things I do like is you can load the h.264 video from youtube and play it in Quicktime instead of Flash player. Web pages full of Flash ads load extremely fast.
You can also download the video.
Here's the ClicktoFlash web page.

The datasource acts as a connection object that has all the
information your query needs to
connect to the desired data base. You do a one-time setup in
the ColdFusion Admin as outlined
below. After that, all you have to do in your query is point
to the datasource name in order to
connect.
Here are instructions on how to set up a datasource for your
Access database:
1. Go to the ColdFusion
Administrator/Data&Services/DataSources.
2. In the main frame on the right, under Add New Data Source,
enter a name for your datasource. NOTE: it must comply with
ColdFusion
naming conventions.
3. For a Driver, select Microsoft Access with Unicode.
4. Click the Add button.
5. For Database File, browse to the mdb you are using for a
database.
6. If you wish, you can fill in descriptive notes about the
db under Description.
7. If you are using a Username and Password, click on
Advanced Settings and enter them.
8. If many people are going to hit your Access database,
check Limit Connections and
set Restrict Connections to 1 (MS Access is
single-threaded).
9. Click the Submit button.
10.You will be brought back to the main Data Source page.
Your new data source should be
there with an OK next to it. This means you can connect to
your datasource via ColdFusion.
When using cfquery, you will use the name you gave your
datasource in step 2 above for the
datasource attribute.
<cfquery datasource="datasourcenameFromStep2"
name="yourQuery">
SELECT model, make, year
FROM carTable
</cfquery>
As mentioned in other posts, you don't have to use
Dreamweaver. You can code CFML using a standard text editor like
Notepad. Dreamweaver does however provide many productivity
benefits
for development projects.

Can I have an image as a back up in case flash doesnt load?

Hi, I was thinking....for all those people that come to my site - is it possible to have a back up image if the flash doesnt load?
The current code is:
<div id="mainBanner">
          <div id="so1351">You will need flash to view this element<script type="text/javascript">
               var so1351 = new SWFObject("/media/11695/29042009.swf", "flash", "994", "224", "8", "#FFFFFF");
               so1351.write("so1351");
          </script></div>
         </div>
Anyone know? All comments very appreciated!

wow - thanks for your advice.
Would that be simple code like <img src="/image.jpg">?
Really? Wouldnt that overide the flash or doesnt it work like? I guess I need to try and see first.....
thanks again, any additional comments would be very gratefully received.

Flash text and flash buttons in DW CS4

Hi,
I have installed DW CS4 on my pc with Vista Home Premium 64
Bit...I have edit my website homepage and I have discovered that I
can't edit all flash text and buttons that I have created with DW
CS3! I have see that the adobe has removed from CS4 version this
option! So, now how I can resolve this problem??
I have try to install also the CS3 version but I don't
understand because I can't no more activated it from internet or
phone option!
I'm very angry for this, now I have to recreate from the
begin all flash text and buttons of my website with other software?
perhaps to buy also the Flash CS4 version for the solution? is this
the new idea of adobe with their new CS4 version?

It was a poor choice on Adobe's part to ever include such an
option, and on
your part for using it. Think about it -
1. Some people don't have Flash installed - what do they do?
Especially
consider those people who are browsing from a corporate
internet where Flash
is not allowed by the IT staff.
2. Search engines may not parse Flash links - your site will
not be
spidered unless you have redundant HTML links
3. Screen assistive devices don't parse Flash links - what
will those users
do?
4. DW cannot maintain links within a Flash movie, so if you
move or rename
a linked file, your navigation will break - what will you do?
You will have
to remake those buttons.
It's almost always a very bad idea for these reasons.
The solution is to make graphics to replace the Flash
elements, or just use
CSS styled text.

Android, backspace doesn't work properly in a flash.text.TextField

Hello,
I have a bug on my Nexus 5 Android 4.4 Air 4.0.
when I scroll the text in the textField and I select the text (in my example near "subclass" word), the TextField get focus, if I put on the backspace key, the character deleted is the previous character the first time, and if I put again on the backspace key, the caracter deleted is the first character and not the previous character.

You can give a text field an instance name in the Property inspector and use the methods and properties of the TextField class to manipulate it with ActionScript. TextField instance names are displayed in the Movie Explorer and in the Insert Target Path dialog box in the Actions panel.\nTo create a text field dynamically, use the TextField() constructor.\n\nThe methods of the TextField class let you set, select, and manipulate text in a dynamic or input text field that you create during authoring or at runtime.\n\nActionScript provides several ways to format your text at runtime. The TextFormat class lets you set character and paragraph formatting for TextField objects. You can apply Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) styles to text fields by using the TextField.styleSheet property and the StyleSheet class. You can use CSS to style built-in HTML tags, define new formatting tags, or apply styles. You can assign HTML formatted text, which optionally uses CSS styles, directly to a text field. HTML text that you assign to a text field can contain embedded media (movie clips, SWF files, GIF files, PNG files, and JPEG files). The text wraps around the embedded media in the same way that a web browser wraps text around media embedded in an HTML document.\n\nFlash Player supports a subset of HTML tags that you can use to format text.

Can I run 32 bit firefox on my Windows 7, 64 bit and how ? Flash player loads slow.

Can I run 32 bit Firefox on my Windows 7, 64 bit and how do I do that? Flash player loads videos slowly. You tube videos are mostly loading slowly or hanging up. It seems to have happened after the last Firefox update.

Does that program require the Flash Player ActiveX Control, or the plugin? If you only have the ActiveX Control (for Internet Explorer) installed, then you may also need the plugin (for other browsers). Get it from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/

Missing Fonts in Flash Text List

I am using Dreamweaver CS3 on a Windows XP computer. In the
"Insert Flash Text" dialog box, in the font drop down menu, I am
not seeing all of my installed fonts. I see a few OpenType and a
few True Type fonts, but more than half of my installed fonts are
not showing up in the list. I can see all my fonts in the "Edit
Font List" box for creating font families in Dreamweaver. So I know
parts of Dreamweaver can see all of my fonts.
I am totally stumped why some fonts aren't available for
flash text. Any suggestions? Thanks.

What has always replaced it - images, or some image
replacement technique
like sIFR, or TIP.

You mean you are taking a class from an Adobe Certified
Instructor, and
he/she is requiring that? Who is that? What a waste of class
time....

Flash text in DW MX

My site (redirect from www.johnbowlby.com) home page uses a
lot of DW flash text elements with links to other pages on the
site.
Lately, a white box outline appears around any of the Flash
text elements on the page. User has to click once to get the flash
element to show the rollover color and then again to activate link.
This is new. Previously (i.e. for 2 years) the Flash text has
changed color on rollover and gone to the assigned link on a single
click.
Can someone explain and help me stop this. Annoyong and looks
terrible.
Thanks

> Sorry. Blame Microsoft.
Actually, blame the Justice Department for terminal
boneheadedness.

Dreamweaver flash text

I tried to manually edit the code with wmode transparency
settings, but it's still not working. I'm using the Dreamweaver CS3
Flash Text tool to create vector clean text and would like
background to be transparent

I don't believe you can do that with the Flash text tool. You
would just need to match the color.
Also it would be a good idea to not get too used to using the
Flash Text tool as the function is deprecated and will be
discontinued in all future versions.

You can't change size dynamically as it is defined by the
object embed tags.
You could use WMODE transparency which could help you fake it
tho not always best
solution to go with WMODE. It's a very buggy parameter.
WMODE will remove the background color so the flash movie
appear over the html and you
can see the HTML content trough the movie.
You could define some solid shape for the background on
bottom layer to make it look
like SWF background, than change it with the other loaded
movie making it appear as it
changed size while the over all flash size stats the same. As
said above - faking it.

Flash Text not displaying certain fonts

Thanks as always…
I am trying to use Flash text for some headings, but after an
hour of pulling my hair out I've just realised it will only display
certain fonts, such as Helvetica etc.
I added the font I want to use to my font list but it still
does not display…
I'm using MX on OSX 10.3.9.
Any ideas? Thansk.

Is your text in a dynamic text box, or static text box in
flash?
I don't think the issue concerns the "true-type" or not
"true-type" font.
In Flash, when text is part of a dynamic text box (which I
assume is the case in your situation),
then the font works just like in an html page:
if the font is installed on the computer it will show, if
not, it won't. The way around this, is to
embed the font data in the authoring flash file, and link it
to the dynamic text box, via actionScript.
So if you cannot work on the authoring Flash file with Flash
MX or Flash8, and if indeed we're
talking about a dynamic text box, your only option is to use
a web-safe font.
